Finding Unopened Packs - The Struggle Continues with Kellogg's Baseball Cards

 

I am still looking for the following unopened packs.  I've resorted to selling duplicates so that maybe I can purchase a few of these.  Let me know if you have any of these.

1970-71 - many needs, not the focus now

1972 - Tom Seaver, Pete Rose, Bob Gibson, Willie Mays

1973 - Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver

1974 - many needed

1976 - Claudell Washington, Clay Carroll, Greg Luzinski, Rod Carew, Pete Rose, Ted Simmons

1977 - Lyman Bostock, Ron Cey, Mark FIdrych, Sixto Lezcano, Jerry Koosman

1979 - I need those in the first printing with the registered symbol in the scarf

--- Bruce Sutter, Ted Simmons, Ross Grimsley, Terry Puhl, Jack Clark

A few of these might be a challenge.  I do have a lot of extras to trade including an entire extra set of 1978 cards in their individual packages.

Some of my favorites.

How Do Grading Companies Evaluate Unopened Packs?

 I've been struggling to find unopened packs at affordable prices.  I accumulated a bunch of extras but since I haven't had any luck trading, I've decided to try to sell some of the extra ones on ebay and maybe buy a few that I need. 

So far, so good.  I picked up one 1971 Football unopened pack.  Of course, that is one set that I will not likely ever complete since every pack with cost more than $20.  

I plan to keep the cards in the wrappers, even if the wrappers are not perfect.  

Does anyone know what criteria are used to grade a pack?  Do they look at the card at all or just the pack - color, borders, etc.?

What would make it worth it to grade a pack?  I cannot imagine that there would be a lot of interest in a common player in the pack, even if it graded as a 10.  

With higher grading prices the last few years, will any of these cards get graded other than the big $ ones?

Where are the Unopened Kellogg's Packs Hiding?

 

Like everyone else my age, when I dug through the box I grabbed the card and ripped it out of the package.  Somehow, not everyone did so.

Once COVID hit, lots more cards came to market.  Collections hidden in basements for years were sorted and sold.  This didn't seem to help me with Kellogg's cards.  I haven't made a dent in my unopened cards in a long time.

1975 Unopened packs?  I have only three of them.  

I am still working on 1971 and 1979 master sets, but I haven't put much effort into that lately.  

I am working on upgraded some cracked cards, since I tend to see the same cards that are more likely to be cracked.
